3 SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN IPPS FINAL RULE FY 2016 Will apply to approximately 3,400 acute care hospitals Market basket increase of 2.4%, but 0.9% total impact 1% reduction in DSH/uncompensated care payments Average payments will increase by 0.4% compared to FY total IQR measures for FY 18 payment: removes 9 measures, requires 16 ecqms, and adds 8 measures Readmissions program expands pneumonia definition for FY 2017 New Value-Based Purchasing measures for FYs 18, 19, and 21, and revised domain weights for FY 18 Modifies HAC Reduction Program domain weighting for FY 17 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 3
4 FY 2016 IPPS FINAL RULE PAYMENT UPDATE: SUMMARY Change in Medicare operating rates: Market Basket Update 2.4% Less Multi-Factor Productivity -0.5% Less ACA Mandated Cuts -0.2% Less Documentation and Coding Recoupment (ATRA) -0.8% TOTAL IMPACT 0.9% Hospitals that report inpatient quality data and are meaningful users of EHRs will experience a 0.9% increase in payments in FY 2016 relative to FY /31/2015 NHA/SMA 4
5 SEQUESTER FACTOR The 2% Federal sequester factor remains in place for FFY The factor is not applied to payment rate. It is applied to federal payment portion after determining patient responsibility for coinsurance, deductibles, or secondary payment adjustments. NHA has NOT applied the 2% sequester factor in any portion of the FFY 2016 IPPS MS-DRG Medicare Expected Payment calculations. 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 5
6 FY 2016 PAYMENT UPDATE: WITH AND WITHOUT QUALITY REPORTING & MEANINGFUL USE FY 2016 MFP adjustment under section 1886 (b)(3)(b)(xi) Statutory adjustment under section 1886(b)(3)(B)(xii) Adjustment for failure to submit quality data under section 1886(b)(3)(B)(viii) Adjustment for failure to be a meaningful EHR user under section 1886(b)(3)(B)(ix) Submitted quality data & is meaningful EHR user Submitted quality data but not a meaningful EHR user Did not submit quality data but is a meaningful EHR user Did not submit quality data and is not a meaningful EHR user Final applicable % increase applied to market basket rate of 2.4% penalty of Market Basket = % penalty of Market Basket = /31/2015 NHA/SMA 6
7 NEW TECHNOLOGY: ICD-10 CONVERSION Creating new component within ICD-10 PCS codes, labeled Section X (analogous to outpatient C codes). Will be available October 1, Will be used to describe, identify and track new technologies, services & drugs that are not specifically identified in the current ICD-10 PCS structure More information available at: CD9-CM-C-and-M-Meeting-Materials.html 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 7
8 NEW TECHNOLOGY: ADD-ON PAYMENTS Continuation of existing add-on technologies: Kcentra (ICD-10 code: 30283B1) Argus II System (ICD-10 code: 09H005Z or 08H105Z) CardioMESH (ICD-10 codes: 02HR30Z, 02HQ30Z) MitraClip System (ICD-10 code: 02UG3JZ) Responsive Neurostimulator System (RNS) (ICD-10 codes: 0NH00NZ, 00H00MZ) 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 8
9 2-MIDNIGHT RULE Created in 2014, a patient that is expected to stay across two consecutive nights will be presumed appropriate for Part A payment. CMS did not propose any changes to the rule in the FY 16 IPPS Proposed Rule, but did address short stays in the FY 16 OPPS & ASC rules where fewer than two midnights may still justify as a short-stay inpatient admit. Final rule does not include extension of the partial enforcement delay of the two-midnight policy. Delay will expire September 30. Update: Enforcement delay extended to January /31/2015 NHA/SMA 9
10 WAGE INDEX FY 2016 uses same labor market areas to calculate wage indexes Occupational mix- updated based on 2013 Medicare survey. National Average Hourly Wage (AHW) adjusted for occupational mix is $ /31/2015 NHA/SMA 10
11 RURAL WAGE INDEX ADJUSTMENTS Second year of transition policies for new OMB delineations of urban to rural. 1 year 50/50 blend wage index through end of FY 2015 Keep old urban area wage index for 3 years if not reclassified/redesignated Get 1/3 of the difference between urban/rural DSH for the second year of the transition Outmigration- updated using ACS data. 75 hospitals newly eligible. Hospitals that qualified for adjustment in FYs 2014 or 2015 receive same adjustment for remainder of 3- year period (not updated). Frontier floor- applies 1.0 floor in MT, ND, SD, WY Imputed rural floor- extended to September 30, 2016 (1 year) for all urban states and alternative method for RI 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 11
12 DSH PAYMENTS FY 2015 FY 2016 Empirically Justified DSH Payments Distributed in same way as current policy 2016 Final Value of factors for Uncompensated Care DSH Payments: 75% Uncompensated Care DSH Payments Distributed based on three factors 1. Total DSH payment pool July 2015 estimate was $ billion. 75% of $13.411= $ billion 2. Change in the percentage of uninsured FY 2016 percent uninsured estimate 11.5% (1-percent change in uninsured)= available portion of 63.69% ($6.406 billion) 3. Proportion of total uncompensated care each Medicare DSH hospital provides Hospital s Medicare SSI Days + Medicaid Days Total DSH Hospitals Medicare SSI Days + Medicaid Days 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 12
13 DSH PAYMENTS No changes in eligibility from FY 2014 Only affects operating DSH, not capital DSH Adjusting for the factors on the previous slide, available pool money for FY 2016 is $6.406 billion. DSH payments will be cut by $1.24 billion in FY 2016 compared to the FY 2015 amount. CMS projects this impact to be a downward payment of 1% as compared to the Medicare DSH and uncompensated payments distributed in FY /31/2015 NHA/SMA 13
14 MS-DRG CHANGES Compress percutaneous intracardiac procedures, MS-DRGs into: MS-DRG 273: Percutaneous Intracardiac Procedures with MCC MS-DRG 274: Percutaneous Intracardiac Procedures without MCC Delete MS-DRGs 237 & 238 and create 5 new ones: MS-DRG 268: Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon with MCC MS-DRG 269: Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon without MCC MS-DRG 270: Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC MS-DRG 271: Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC MS-DRG 272: Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 14

17 HOSPITAL INPATIENT QUALITY REPORTING (IQR) PROGRAM Seven new measures for the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting program: FY 2018: Add three claims-based measures Hospital-Level, Risk-Standardized Payment Associated with an Episode-of-Care for Primary Elective THA/TKA (90 days) Excess Days in Acute Care after Hospitalization for Acute Myocardial Infarction Excess Days in Acute Care after Hospitalization for Heart Failure FY 2019: Add three claims-based measures Kidney/UTI Clinical Episode-Based Payment Measure Cellulitis Clinical Episode-Based Payment Measure Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Clinical-Based Payment Measure Add one structural measure Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 17
18 HOSPITAL INPATIENT QUALITY REPORTING (IQR) PROGRAM For FY 2018 and subsequent years: Removed the following measures from IQR program, but will retain five as electronic clinical quality measures: Measure # Measure Name Retain as ecqm STK-01 Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis STK-06 Discharged on Statin Medication STK-08 Stroke Education VTE-1 Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis VTE-2 Intensive Care Unit Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis VTE-3 Venous Thromboembolism Patients with Anticoagulation Overlap Therapy IMM-1 Pneumococcal Vaccination (NQF #1653) AMI-7a Fibrinolytic Therapy Received Within 30 Minutes of Hospital Arrival (NQF #0164) SCIP-Inf-4 Cardiac Surgery Patients with Controlled Postoperative Blood Glucose (NQF #0300) 18
19 HOSPITAL INPATIENT QUALITY REPORTING (IQR) PROGRAM: ecqms Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (ecqm): CMS extended its policy that hospitals are not required to chart-abstract and submit STK-01 if they submit the following for the CY 2015/ FY 2017 payment determination: STK-02 STK-06 STK-03 STK-08 STK-04 STK-10 STK-05 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 19
20 CHANGES IN QUALITY REPORTING For FY 2016 & 2017: Required to submit one quarter (either Q3 or Q4) of electronic data (ecqms) from CY 16 by Feb. 28, 2017 Can report using either 2014 or 2015 edition of CEHRT, but must use the most recent measure specifications 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 20
21 CHANGES IN QUALITY REPORTING Starting FY 2018: Hospitals are required to select & submit 4 (of 28) Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (ecqm) measures Only need to submit population and sample size data for measures that are submitted as chart-abstracted measures Remove immunization strata from topic area weighting for validation Expands Extraordinary Circumstances Extensions/Exemptions policy to include electronic reporting hardships 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 21
22 HOSPITAL READMISSIONS REDUCTION PROGRAM Began October 1, 2012 and adjusts payments based on each hospital s ratio of actual versus expected readmissions No changes to current or planned measures: FY 2013 FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 Acute Myocardial Infarction, Heart Failure, Pneumonia Same as FY 2013 FY 2014 Measures plus: Hip/Knee Replacement & COPD Same as FY 2015 Max. : 1% 2% 3% 3% 3% Penalty FY 2015 Measures plus: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 22
23 HOSPITAL READMISSIONS REDUCTION PROGRAM CMS finalized proposal to refine readmission rate following pneumonia hospitalization. Readmission cohort (not the mortality cohort) includes patients with: Pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia Sepsis with a secondary diagnosis of pneumonia present on admission Does NOT include patients with a principal discharge diagnosis of respiratory failure or severe sepsis. CMS did not refine the mortality cohort. This change impacts seven of the variables used in the risk adjustment algorithm and is expected to increase the number of discharges included in the measure by 50%. 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 23
24 HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED CONDITIONS (HAC) REDUCTION PROGRAM 1% payment reduction will continue to apply to those hospitals that rank in the lowest performing quartile relative to the national average of all applicable hospitals. Domain 1: AHRQ PSI-90 Measure, composite of 8 patient safety measures. Domain 2: Measures include CDC Central-Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI), Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), and Colon and Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgical Site Infection (SSI). Finalized the 24-month period from July 1, 2013-June 30, 2015 as the time frame for Domain 1 measure (AHRQ PSI-90 Composite Measure). For FY 2016, weight of Domain 1 is and weight of Domain 2 is 75%. Not adding or removing any HAC measures for FY 2016, but is making changes for FY 2017 & 2018 (next slide). 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 24
25 HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED CONDITIONS (HAC) REDUCTION PROGRAM FY 2017: Inclusion of two new measures for Domain 2: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia Clostridium difficile (CDI) Decrease the Domain 1 weight from to 15% and increase the Domain 2 weight from 75% to 85%. FY 2018: Finalized expansion of patient population for CLABSI & CAUTI measures. 1. Expands to include patients in select nonintensive care units. (pediatric & adult medical wards, surgical wards, and med/surg wards locations. 2. Changes the relative contribution of each measure within domain 2 and the domain weighting of the total HAC score, which could impact the mix of hospitals receiving the HAC penalty. 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 25
26 EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE POLICY For both the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program and the HAC Reduction Program, CMS has finalized an extraordinary circumstance exception policy to address hospitals that experience a disaster or other extraordinary circumstance beginning in FY Hospitals must submit ECE form within 90 days post event, request form similar to existing VBP and IQR ECE policy. 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 26
27 VALUE-BASED PURCHASING PROGRAM (VBP) Expansion of program to fund incentive payments to high-performing hospitals through a coefficient reduction in base operating DRG payments for hospital discharges. These base payment reductions will be reallocated within the IPPS system as incentive payments & the size of the reallocation will increase until maxing out in FY Reduction coefficients: FY 2015 FY 2016 FY % 1.75% 2% 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 27

32 BUNDLED PAYMENTS FOR CARE IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE (BPCI) Composed of four related payment models to link payments with episodes of care. Organizations that participate in the initiative receive a discounted bundled payment for a single episode of care. CMS requested comments in proposed rule. They received over 75 public comments considering the potential future expansion of the BCPI (evaluation of BCPI models, further testing of the BCPI initiative, target pricing methodologies, etc.). UPDATE: CMS announced in August that 2,100 acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, physician group practices, long-term care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and home health agencies transitioned to a riskbearing implementation period in which they will assume financial risk for episodes of care. 360 of those organizations are participating in BCPI, while the other 1,755 are partnering with those organizations. 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 32
33 ADDITIONAL CMS COMMENTS No review yet of the Patient Safety Indicator 90 measure (PSI 90) NHQ is considering expanding it from 8 PSIs to 11 PSIs. Prior version remains adopted. Acknowledged the overlapping measures in the HVBP Program and the HAC Reduction program stating that they cover topics of critical importance to quality improvement in the inpatient hospital setting and to patient safety. CMS is committed to increasingly shifting Medicare payments from volume to value. 8/31/2015 NHA/SMA 33
